Show ImageDoin' Croissant burgers .. Got dat wawa croissant, it's not actually not very croissant like at all, but it makes a GREAT burger bun..
I'm cooking up some Beyond Burgers today! I have them defrosted and plan on serving them over rice (I have no bread and I aint goin out today!)
I've been a fan of the Beyond Burgers, but their Hot Sausages are amazing to BBQ. Have you tried the Impossible Burger?
So finally I tried it, and really it was OK but not a good meat substitute. It certainly does not taste or have the texture of meat at all. When cooked it develops this seared crust, which is actually good and I enjoy the crispiness it gets on the outside but real meat doesn't do that. I assume the crisp is directly related to what allows the substance to get grill marks. The consistency is way too chunky and for me the biggest failing of this product, when 'raw' having the texture of wet cat food, and when cooked almost having the texture of a quinoa patty or seared jackfruit. And honestly it just tastes like a milder or more refined Boca Burger in the end, it has that same 'flavored soy' taste if ya know what I mean. It's not bad tasting, and holds it's form really well like meat does when cooked. But overall I'm not impressed on the front of it being a meat sub which is the main point of the product, it has failed on all fronts except that you can cook it exactly the same. I prepped them as I would a regular beef patty seasoned w/ salt+pepper and cooked in a buttered skillet. The cooking time and flip theory remains the same for consistency. Everything else (arguably everything that matters) falls short. If you served this to someone expecting beef they would know immediately something was up with the meat.Show ImageShow ImageShow ImageShow ImageCouldn't make burgers cause no bread, so I served it over coconut rice with melted provolone and hatch chili ketchup. It was OK.
